When Kyran turned 18, his life turned upside down. The Royal Army raided his clan because his supposedly non-existent magic got exposed. On that fateful night, he was the only one who escaped. Up to the present, the status of his clan was unknown. A magic inheritance that became a curse, Kyran became a fugitive. Always on the run... living in fear when the Royal Army finally captures him. At least that's what most people thought... "I'll definitely save my family. And I will make all those who made my clan suffer pay tenfold. I'll make use of this magic they so feared, and show them what real terror is...." Disclaimer: The cover image isn't mine. I'll replace it when I finished mine.
Oceanus's side had three groups, with Cove, Irving, and Maren leading one group each. Each group decided to explore the lush forest to the east, the mountain range to the north, or the woodland to the west. Kyran was the only one who chose to venture toward the south, where the marshland was located.
After Kyran unceremoniously left the makeshift camp after deciding where he would explore first, the three leaders exchanged a look of disdain. They avoided choosing the marshland because there were few places to hide, and most beasts hid while waiting for an opportunity to prey on an unassuming target.
Moreover, The Council's Camp was located toward the southeast, which was pretty close to the marshland. Chances of them venturing into the marshland in broad daylight might be low, but if Kyran was caught by a marshland beast and a commotion broke out, then The Council would definitely investigate.
